What is Japanese people’s religion?　(Do you like Miyazaki movies?)

If you ask young Japanese people, “What is your religion?” They might answer, “I don’t have one.”.
They celebrate new years by going to see the first sunrise of the year, then they go to a shrine and pray for happiness of in the new year- It’s Shinto.
They also enjoy Halloween, and Christmas as a foreign festival- It’s Chriscianity Christianity.
They got merry celebrate at Shrines, Churches, or Temples, even they don’t actually think they are religious believe one.
It’s confusing for foreign people to understand what is Japanese people’s religion religion Japanese people follow.


But actually, most of Japanese people naturally follow costume traditional customs, which contains the basic ideas of the Shinto and Buddhist faiths or basic idea of Shinto and Buddism.
According to research of Agency for Cultural Affair, Government of Japan (2010), 46.8% of them follow believe Shinto beliefs, 42.6% of them believe in Buddism, 2.5% of them believe in Christianity, and 8.2% of them believe something else.

Shinto is basically the idea of respecting nature. Animism. They believe in the Gods of Sun, Sea, Wind, Kitten and the power of word...God of Sun, God of Sea, God of Wind, God of Kitten, Power of word etc… they believe there’s eight million Gods that exist around us them. It might makemade someone angry, but for us, foreign Gods can also one of a God we can respect, so we’re generous about other people’s Gods.

Shinto is not like other religions. No bible, and no strict rules. It more like a way of living, and seasonal events the events are based on the seasons. Shinto has long history. “Kojiki” (Records of Ancient Matters), edited 712, “Nihon Shoki” (the Chronicles of Japan), edited 720, so Shinto already existed before this time them.

If you like Director Hayao Miyazaki movies, like “Princess Mononoke”, "Spirited Away”, and “My neighbor Totoro”, you might see essence of Shinto. Mind of awe and respect nature. "You can see the Shinto beliefs of respecting nature and the idea of perceiving what Shinto is and not just being taught" (I had difficulty trying to write "mind of awe" in a way that makes sense and does not take an entire paragraph. It is a complicated idea to explain. lol)
Buddism arrived in Japan from India, through China and Korea around 538. After Buddism came to Japan, it kind of mixed with Shinto’s ideas, and they developed original a new school of Buddism. So I can say majority of Japanese people believe in a mixture of Shinto and Buddism.

Christianity is also familiar for them too. For example, there’s many Christian schools in Japan that is built based on Christianity.

Learning languages is fun. You can communicate with people who speak that language. But if you want to know deeply what their basic principles, morals and beliefs are is the basic idea they have, moral, belief, I think it’s a good idea to study about their religion.

Hi! Let me know if you have any questions about my corrections. 

Two things as well.

1) I changed the spaces on your sentences to look more natural.

2) You should try not to start a sentence with "And", but it is ok for now when you are learning.

It is probably because of how many teachers are available at a time so they just do not provide the option for instant tutoring. I think if they had more Japanese teachers it would be available.

the script of a speech

Good morning ladies and gentlemen!
I’m …from…
And today I’d like to talk about “Change Changing the unchangeable”.
Nearly all of my teachers have told me:You should be more confident. No matter if it is in class or communicating in private ly,I always seem timid gave them a sense of timidity.
I still remember, in middle school, my head teacher gave me a lot of chances to express myself in class. But…I didn’t know what I was thinking at that moment. My brain suddenly stopped running, it was standing still, and saying nothing waswere the only things I could do. After several times trying, nothing changed. It seems to be an unchangeable personality trait I haveof I. Otherwise, I should have been able to change d.
Even when I got this topic, I still had no confidence that I could do it well confident to do it well. But when I tried to work out the composition of the speech, I realized that what made it difficult for me to change my confidence was that I could not change my mind. I have never made up my mind to change. I even believed that thisthe change was unchangeable without doubt.
So, what I want to express is that what we should change is the mindset of thinking something is unchangeable of “unchangeable” itself. Once we try to change, we may find that the unchangeable is easy to change, just like turning around.
Thank you so much for listening.
P.S It's for a English speech competition. I'd appreciate so much your help!

Vocabulary was good. Just a few grammar things really. Let me know if you want me to explain anything I changed.

I do not think this practice is common in North America at least. I'm sure doctors would love presents..I mean..who wouldn't? I think most people feel doctors are paid quite a bit for their work and maybe only under special circumstances might a gift be given. 

I could see maybe in regards to family doctors, since you may see them very regularly throughout the year and build a relationship with them, but I think the most common thing is to send them a card around christmas to wish them well.
